Pros

Colleagues are friendly and helpful. Team structure works well until management decide to move every one around again.

Cons

Management lack of direction and communication. Teams and colleagues left to flounder because they can't make up their minds. Having been taken over by an international 'investment company' it became increasingly impersonal, products abandoned and teams disbanded with no notice. Management all the way down to team leads became even more uncommunicative. Career progression is non-existent, training opportunities less available - available training time having to be spent on corporate courses and the technical training provider abandoned.

Pros

The people are great! The people enable you to learn from them, even when the company doesn’t promote it as much. Although recently they have been pushing for more training which is good.

Cons

- Wayne Manor - Pension - Sales driven, customer always comes first even in dire situations. As soon as the customer threatens to leave, the situation becomes a priority and the teams are expected to just deal with it. - unrealistic deadlines, deadlines proposed by the dev teams aren’t taken into consideration by upper management and they are then surprised when things go bad.

Thanks for your feedback. I really think that the management team are aware of the underlying issues and are focusing on them. Hopefully, you attended the quarterly briefing and saw the evidence of that. If not, the slides are on the intranet and any of the management team would be happy to talk you through them.

Pros

You have engineer colleagues with good skills and knowledge, friendly environment in the offices, plentiful amenities

Cons

Only junior level work is available, no quality, just quantity. Management will never have your back. Upper management is disorganised and the company is totally directionless. Some upper managers are dishonest. The business model is supposed to be providing quality consultancy for first world companies for relatively cheaply, but the reality is that no customer wants consultants for quality projects, they do them internally. Company is competing with Indian consultant firms who work much cheaper.
